Doctor vs Clown

Another debate I see going round on who is the best.

Doctor is good for locating survivors and end loops (if you know what you're doing) but he's just an M1 killer who is annoying and and no fun to play against. Overwhelming presence is not a good perk no one uses it. Monitor and abuse is one of the communities favourites and Overcharge can help protect Gens just a little bit.

Now let's talk about the Clown. His power is also good for ending loops and stopping fast vaults but even still catching to survivors is hard with him. Bamboozle is a good perk for stopping T wall loops. Coulrophobia is OK for slow heals but not many people use and pop goes the weasel is another community favourite.

In my opinion Clown is better than Doctor because I can't play doctor and I hate going against him but that's just my opinion but hey it might change when Doctor gets his rework. Tell me who do you think is better and why?

    They are both extremely add-on dependent, but the Doctor's add-ons have more impact.

    I'd wait to see how Doctor's rework goes before deciding, which is why I didn't vote.

    Personally, I enjoy Doctor more. His add-ons give much more versatility to his power than Clown, he has better tracking, and he's just more fun.

    That's not to say Clown doesn't do his job. If played right, he can shut down loops before they really begin. Other than that though, he's just boring to me.

    Again, wait for the rework before coming to a decision.

    I really like playing as both of them, but I always have more success with the Doctor. He was kinda my main when I started playing Killer because I loved to find survivors wanting to hide from me without knowing they were going up against a Doc. Stealth is not a good option with him.

    I really like Clown too, but I feel he's not as good as him, at least right now. We'll have to see in which direction will the Doctor go with his rework.

    Also it's true that both depend too much on add-ons to be an actual threat to skilled survivors, which is kinda sad.

    If clowns gas had the same effect as the doc shock (stops players from vaulting, saving, etc for a few seconds) I'd be inclined to say clown was stronger.

    While I am talking about it... why doesn't it @Peanits? I think that is an easy buff to bring clown up a bit yeah?

    They are going to change the doctor and I'm scared. He will be even more harder to play imo

    Doc had fake pallets and schock attack, which are arguably better for ending chases than Clown's bottles. Also he has some kind of map pressure and can locate survivors easily, when Clown does not have any of these abilities. Doctor is thus better.

    Because you can make loops easier with the bottles of toxin or whatever it is.
